Just bought a 2002 GZ250 a few days ago. Seller said it would turn over but not start. So I got it cheap. By the end of the day I had it running, just by watching a few YouTube videos. Turns out the choke/enrichener cable was stuck. Took both ends off and worked it back and forth with some WD-40. Swapped in an included new spark plug as well. I have 0 experience riding a motorcycle, so I felt a 250 was big enough, motor wise, and from what I read in a comparison of a few 250’s, the GZ was the biggest physically. My only worry is that when I sit on it the rear damn near bottoms out. I thought I could adjust preload, but they are already in what I assume is the highest setting. Btw, I’m 6’ and 260lbs. Do I need new coil overs in the rear, and can the fronts be rebuilt?
